Park District gets a new director

By Debbie Lively Staff Reporter

After several months of searching, the Downers Grove Park District has selected a new executive director.

The park district announced last week that William G. McAdam will take over for Dan Cermak as the park district’s new executive director. McAdam, a resident of Lemont, is currently the executive director of the Oswegoland Park District. He has held the position since 2003.

McAdam has over 20 years of experience in the park district industry. At Oswegoland Park District, he managed 945 acres across 57 parks. The territory included the Fox Bend Golf Course, two aquatic facilities and

However, Don Weiss, one of the members responsible for spearheading the resident opposition, said the temporary stay is a result of a property dispute over his mother’s home, which is one of the houses Walgreens had planned to purchase and demolish to make way for the new store.The proposed store would be built at the corner of Woodward and 63rd Street.

“I told them that they’re going to be guilty of financial exploitation of a senior,” Weiss said in regards to his mother, who he said has not approved the sale of her home, 6398 Woodward. His mother currently resides in a nursing home, and Weiss’ siblings are managing the property.

The group contends that another pharmacy is not needed in the area. They said there are already a number of pharmacies close to the proposed store’s location.

locations for the drugstore, made the request with the village to remove the item from the village agenda. They did not respond to calls regarding the matter.

Doug Kozlowski, a village spokesman, said that it was unclear if the item being removed from the agenda was a temporary removal or a permanent action. However, he said the village would give residents two weeks advance notice in the event that the item is placed back on the village board agenda.

The issue was initially placed before the board in late February, but was removed at that time by Walgreens, citing the company’s need for more time to respond to questions from the council and community.

Stanley Jamburger to help with naming of Westmont French Market

By Debbie Lively Staff Reporter

The village has been getting help from its mascot Stanley Jamburger in naming its new French Market.

Last week Stanley posted on his Facebook page a request for the community to help with the naming of the new Westmont French Market, which will begin this summer. Within 24 hours, over 30 people responded, Larry McIntyre, a spokesman with Westmont Special Events Corp., said.

The market will begin this summer and is expected to be held from 4 to 8 p.m. every Thursday from June to August.

It will be located on Burlington

between Cass to Lincoln.

The village hopes to give the market a French title. Some of the recommended suggestions from Stanley’s Facebook page included Burlington Market Place and Frenchmont Market.

The idea for bringing a market to the area came when a resident approached a village board member with the idea. The last time that the village had an outdoor market was about 10 years ago. It was arranged by a different organization.

WSEC hopes to announce the name of the new event at its open house, which will be held Wednesday April 18 at Westmont Centre, 1 S. Cass Ave. The open house will serve free refreshments, have free raffles

and giveaways, and announce the themes and bands for this year’s village events.

The community is invited to continue helping with the naming of the event by visiting Stanley Jamburger’s Facebook page. Stanley was created in 2004 by the WSEC, and has about 700 friends on his Facebook page.

Elements Massage Therapy opens in Woodridge

By Debbie Lively Staff Reporter

Anita Sheth said going from serving her country by working for the U.S. Department of Justice to serving her customers at her new massage therapy business has been a natural progression.

The holistic philosophy behind Elements Massage Therapy appealed to her.

“I felt like I was contributing to this county with the department of justice,” Sheth said. “But I was interested in the well-being aspect, and I wanted to give back.”

Now she’s giving back as owner of a new Elements Massage Therapy business that recently opened in Woodgrove Festival shopping center. The former Woodridge resident said opening the franchise business was sparked by changes in her personal life. She sees it as opening a new chapter in her life that will allow her to serve her customers.

Sheth makes a transition into the business from working as an interpreter for the U.S Department of Justice. She speaks what is considered “a special language,” she said.

Although she’s not a therapist, she has nine therapists working for her seven days a week at the spa, which opened up last week.

It is located several doors down from Hollywood Blvd. Cinema, and in between a Yankee Candle and a Bath & Body Works.

There they’re asked to disrobe to a level that they’re comfortable with before receiving a massage.

Local hearings scheduled for electrical aggregation

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

The next step in achieving cheaper electric rates begins with the first of two public hearings on the subject to be held on Monday, April 16.

Last month,Will County voters chose to band together in what is the largest aggregate group to come together in Illinois to purchase electricity at a cheaper rate, and approved a referendum to allow communities to pursue such an option.

However, there are still steps each municipality must go through before that savings will be realized, including adopting a plan of operation and governance and then essentially going out for bid to solicit electrical supply.

Following through with the next step, a joint public hearing will be held by the villages of Bolingbrook, Romeoville, Woodridge, Lemont, and Downers Grove, at 7 p.m. on April 16 at Woodridge Village Hall, 5 Plaza Drive Woodridge.

According to a public notice, under the opt-out program,

the villages would procure competitive pricing on behalf of eligible accounts. Once an alternative power company is chosen by bid, all applicable accounts would be moved.

However, individual customers would have the option to opt out of the aggregation for whatever reason.

The purpose of the hearings is to obtain input on this plan for residents and small businesses within of Bolingbrook, Romeoville, Woodridge, Lemont and Downers Grove. A copy of the proposed plan is available for review at the Village Hall of each community during regular business hours, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Written and oral comments also will be accepted.

Nearly 135,000 households stand to benefit from the passed referendum and there still remains the potential for others to come on board.

According to the Will County Government League, electrical aggregation allows local governments to bundle residential and small commercial retail electric

THE BUGLE APRIL 11, 2012

accounts and seek bids for a cheaper supply of power.

Currently, ComEd customers receive electricity at a price set each year by the Illinois Power Agency, a governmental body that secures electricity on the wholesale market on behalf of ComEd. By bundling residential and small commercial accounts, municipalities can go out into the open market to seek a lower rate for electrical supply.

The sole purpose of electric aggregation is to save residents money of the supply side of their electric bill. Savings may start to be seen as early as August.

Residents have the opportunity to opt out of the program and will be notified in writing of their options. For those municipalities that passed the referendum, residents who do not opt-out of the program will be automatically enrolled. If a resident wants to participate, he or she does not have to do anything to join.

Another public hearing will be held, at 6 p.m. on April 18, at 1050 Romeo Road, Romeoville,a for Romeoville residents.

Forum Guest Columnist

From the Desk of Rep. Jim Sacia How are things in Springfield, Jim? Are we moving in the right direction? If I had a quarter for each time I’ve been asked those questions, I’d have enough money to take Jenny out for a nice dinner. The answers are – good and absolutely. More than any time in my ten years in this office, I see such positive efforts to fix a very difficult situation.

Last week I attempted to simplify the complexity of our $58 billion budget and the income we anticipate from you.

The most important aspect of that column, it was not “pie in the sky.” Both the House of Representatives and our State Senate have agreed that the “line in the sand” is that all the available money coming into our state coffers from you the taxpayers is $33,719,000,000.

This is Amendment 2 to House Resolution 706, and it is identical to House Joint Resolution (HJR) 69 which is concurred to by the Senate.

Once again this year, and not surprising, the governor’s office is in opposition as they believe that more money will become available. The resolutions are also opposed by the Illinois Policy Institute (which surprises me), the Illinois Association of

Rehabilitation Facilities, Planned Parenthood and SEIU (Service Employees International Union) (which doesn’t surprise me).

Many organizations expect to be fully funded no matter how much money is available. Many of you would like to obtain things, but if no money is available, you know you’ll have to tighten your belt for at least another year.

I’ve arrived at the point I want to make –the house and senate will allocate no more money than $33,719,000,000. If more money comes in we can pay down past due bills (now approximately $8 billion). The real good news is for the first time in many years (at least ten), we stand to spend less than our income.

Recently, walking into the Freeport Farm and Fleet, a gentleman I know well said to me, “Jim, you’ve got to quit writing nice things about Chicago Democrats, I’m starting to think you are going over to the other side.”

I’m just very proud of how so many of us are coming, perhaps begrudgingly, to consensus.

As the old saying goes,“it’s not over until the fat lady sings” on May 31st. It will be a tough two months but it must happen.

Mustangs bolstered by five top returners

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

With five qualifiers from last year’s state tournament team returning this spring, it’s easy to see why there are great expectations for Downers Grove South’s boys tennis squad.

BOYS TENNIS Coach Pete Frieschlag, in his 28th year at DGS, knows his lineup has the potential to better its 10th-place finish at state in 2011, but he and the Mustangs realize that nothing is going to be handed to them.

“Expectations are really high, but that’s on paper,” Frieschlag said.“We have to keep everybody healthy; we have to do the work.

It’s (about) today. What are we doing today to get one day better?”

Singles players Joey Leto, a senior, and junior Jon Artus— who advanced into the seventh and sixth consolation rounds, respectively, at state last season— are nationally ranked, as are senior Connor Harmon and junior Cody Freischlag, who make up DGS’ No. 1 doubles team. The duo made it into the third round of the state tourney’s championship bracket last season.

“There’s obviously a couple of really good teams (at state) like New Trier that are hard to top,” Leto said,“but we definitely want to do better than last year and we expect to. But our goal, really, is to just keep getting better.We have a really close group of guys.”

In a dual meet opposite crosstown rival Downers North last week, Leto was paired up in doubles with his brother, Tony, a freshman, who’s also nationally ranked. Joey Leto said he and his brother will compete in doubles together from time-to-time throughout the season, but Tony

will play singles predominantly.

“So you add a fifth nationally ranked player to that group,”coach Freischlag said. “That’s a pretty good start. Joey is just immensely talented. He’s turned into a great leader by example. He probably has the best hands of anyone I’ve coached. His little brother is highly touted, a great shot-maker.

He’s quick and resourceful on the court.”

Senior Kiernen Cavanaugh, part of a state qualifying doubles team with since-graduated Anton Urgello, also returns.

The Mustangs opened the season by winning the 32-team Tiger Invitational in downstate Edwardsville during the weekend of March 30-31. They defeated Downers North, 14-4, in their first area dual of the year.

The Leto brothers, Artus, Harmon, Cody Freischlag, Ryan McMillan, Rishi Iyer and Alvin Wu each won singles matches for the Mustangs.

In doubles,the teams of HarmonFreischlag, Artus-Cavanaugh, McMillan-Lee Thornquist, George Kozkin-Grant Jordan, Mike Papanicholas-Joe Rietsma and the Leto brothers all won their matches.

DOWNERS NORTH One thing certainly can be said about new coach Dana Graczyk’s boys tennis team: The Trojans aren’t shying away from playing tough competition.

Downers North opened the new season with a dual vs.

Barrington, a top 20 team at state last year. Last week, they faced the Mustangs. This past weekend, DGN hosted its own invite, and on Tuesday, it tangled with Hinsdale Central, which placed fifth at state in 2011.

Graczyk, who’s coached both the Benet boys’ junior varsity and Hinsdale South’s girls varsity

teams in recent years, listed a number of goals she would like to see the Trojans achieve.

“My goal is to obviously have the boys reach their potential,” she said, “and everyone having the same strategy for double and singles. Doing well in the conference, and most importantly, qualify someone from sectionals (to the state meet). We want to win every match, but learn from every match and improve from that.”

The 2009 campaign marked the last time DGN has qualified a singles or doubles team for the state tourney (that year, the Trojans had two state-qualifying doubles tandems).

Junior Tristan Burnham, and two freshman—Mike Yong and Yaroslaw Kovalchuk,whose family is from Ukraine—are among the Trojans’ top singles players.

Burnham dropped a tough threeset match to Barrington, and was not at 100 percent due to a leg injury in his Downers South match.

“I think with a little rehab and strengthening he’ll be back in full swing within a week,” Graczyk said.

Graczyk says Yong is “a nice player and has good skills at the net” while Kovalchuk “is definitely in my top three (singles player) for sure.”

Yong and sophomore Spencer Schillerstrom were the only singles winners against Downers South.

Two seniors, Jeffrey Foote and Stephen Schatzer, are the Trojans’ top doubles players “whether they play together or (are) split apart,” Graczyk said.

Two additional doubles teams won matches against the Mustangs: senior Juan Martinez and junior Louis Buttney, along with the senior duo of Anthony DiGiulio and John Eppen. mike@buglenewspapers.com

Sentinels have tough stretch of games this week

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

Westmont’s softball team finds itself in the middle of a stretch this week that would challenge any team’s mettle.

SOFTBALL Last Saturday, the Sentinels began a period in which they’ll play eight games in seven days, ending with three contests this Saturday at a tourney in Elgin.

Unfortunately, they got off to a rocky start after Immaculate Conception handed first-year coach Sue Zapinski’s club losses in both games of a double-header at Westmont—13-0 in the first game and 8-1 in the nightcap.

“Today wasn’t our day at all,” said Zapinski, an assistant with the team last season.

The Sentinels, she said, are putting more stock this week in the Interstate Eight portion of their grueling schedule. They

faced Sandwich on consecutive days Monday and Tuesday, and visit Reed-Custer Friday.

She noted that a handful of I-8 teams are state-ranked, including powerhouse Lisle, which has nearly everyone back from a team that placed fourth in the Class 2A state tournament last June.

“We’ll take one game at a time (this week),” Zapinski said. “We want to do well; our conference is incredibly strong.”

Westmont has only one senior, No. 2 pitcher Caitlin Doherty, on the 2012 club (the 2011 team lost nine seniors to graduation).

Doherty took the loss in Game 1.

“We have a very young team,” Zapinski said.“One of the things I was looking forward to the most

is watching these kids come together. We have been hitting well (prior to the doubleheader loss to IC). This (IC) is a tough team and unfortunately Caitlin didn’t have it today.”

Freshman Kristen Skala, who’s become Westmont’s top pitcher, pitched well for stretches during Game 2. She finished with 10 strikeouts and walked only one, but IC pounded out seven hits and sent 12 batters to the plate during a six-run third inning.

“We had one bad inning,” Zapinski said.“She (Skala) actually was not feeling well; she told me halfway through the game that she was sick, but she’s a young pitcher and she does really well.

She’s still getting used to playing See TOUGH, page 15

Bison may be headed to Wilmington

By Dan Stefanich

Could be in Will County,Illinois in the near future. Officials recently announced a plan that includes the introduction of a herd of bison to the Midewin Tallgrass Prairie in Wilmington.

The initial herd could include up to 75 bison managed on 1,000 acres. But they could expand the area and the size of the herd over time.

Most of the Midewin property is comprised of open prairie, grassland, savannah and some timber along several creeks — perfect habitat for bison.

According to the plan, they will be completely fenced in for public safety. Eventually there may be observation platforms and a 12-mile tram where the public can come safely view the bison. The plan could take up to 5 years before it comes to fruition.

Located about 40 miles south of Chicago, Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie has over 20,000 acres with 7,200 acres and 22 miles of trails open to the public for hiking, biking, horseback riding and hunting.

The property is also rich in history. It was formerly home to the Joliet Army Ammunition Plant that produced TNT and various munitions during WWII, the Korean War, and Vietnam Conflicts and at one time employed 12,000 people.Certain areas have trails where visitors can actually walk inside the bunkers where the ammunition was once stored. Midewin is actually part of the Federallymanaged National Forest System, and was the very first official

National Tallgrass Prairies to be established in the country. The master plan has always been to restore the property to it’s native state of open grasslands and prairie. What better way to restore a natural prairie than with bison — a majestic symbol of the Great American Prairies.

Links Report It was a typical Easter Sunday at the Masters.

You could cut the tension with a knife as several players had a crack at the green jacket.

The best part of it all was that in the end, the tournament was won, not lost, just like the past few years.

Bubba Watson needed four straight birdies on the back nine to force a playoff and from there used an incredible hook shot off the pine needles to win the tournament on the second playoff hole.

And it wasn’t like Luis Oosthuizen gave it to him.

He had a double eagle on the second hole to take a two-shot lead and made his only bogies of the day shortly after. He made clutch putt after clutch putt on the back nine to stay in the lead.

There were other charges throughout the day as Matt Kuchar and Lee Westwood missed some short putts and Phil Mickelson had a disastrous six on the par-3 fourth hole that he couldn’t recover from.

In the end it was great theatre for the fourth straight year and continues to live up to my billing (and many others) as the greatest tournament of the year.

It was great to see Bubba break through and win his first major of his career and get the monkey off his back as so many others are still looking for their first. staylor@buglenewspapers.com

Heading into the weekend games, the Mustangs faced Bolingbrook and earned a 9-5 win after jumping on the Raiders early.

Downers Grove South posted a pair of runs in the first inning, one in the second and broke the game open with four runs in the fourth.

to put runs on the board,” Downers Grove South coach Ron Havelka said of the Raiders.

“So, it was important that we got the key hits early. We got a couple of real nice hits with the bases loaded in the (fourth inning) and it turned out we needed them all because they came back.”

The Raiders didn’t get on the board until the top of the fourth, but then they tallied a pair of runs in both the fifth and sixth in an attempt to make a comeback.

“We can never stop, said senior shortstop Danielle Trezzo. “No matter how many hits you have or how many runs, you have to

keep on hitting because in this game, anyone can come back.”

Trezzo was one of the big bats for the Mustangs, as she went 2-for-4 with two runs scored.

Daly also came up big in this game, adding three hits for South.

“We started attacking and knew we had to jump out ahead early and we did,” she said.

“When they started to come back, we had to stay calm.”

Personally, Daly said she has focused on hitting early this season.

“I have been taking hitting lessons and I and have been working with the coaches,” she said.

As a whole, the Mustangs know they will be a team to contend with at the end of the season.

“We have a very tough non conference schedule,” Havelka said. “No matter who it is, we know we need to bring our A game every time. We had a little modest winning streak after starting out 1-3.”

The main thing Havelka knows about the Mustangs is that he has players on the field that have played in pressurepacked games.

“We are battle tested,” he said.

“We have girls who have played a lot of ball. We have some who were in the supersectional

two years ago and were in the sectional final last year.”

Trezzo, one of those players, knows the Mustangs have to just stay calm and put in the work.

“This is fun out here all the time,” she said. “We come out and give 110 percent and play hard, but no matter if we win or lose, we have to keep coming back.

“We always want to be our best by the end of the season and that is what we are working for. A few losses during the season are fine as long as we are learning from them, we hope to be the best we can be by the end of the season.”

be right in there.”

Another bat in Westmont’s lineup that Zapinski can count on is sophomore shortstop Maria Prete, a returning starter.

Prete went 3-for-3 with two doubles in the first game—one of her doubles hit the yellow (top) part of the fence—and provided the Sentinels with what turned out to be their only run of the doubleheader when she homered to lead off the fourth inning in the nightcap.

Her home run to center field went into the teeth of a strong cross wind.

“It wasn’t too timely, but I got it over (the fence),” Prete said.

Prete and junior second baseman Claire Conneely make up Westmont’s middle infield.

At the corners are juniors Susan Sternard (first base) and Megan Seratt (third base), each of whom has returning varsity experience.

The Sentinels have a freshman,

Skyler Poel, behind the plate and leading off.

“We have two freshmen who have really helped out a lot,” said Prete, who also singled in the second game. “Kristen, our pitcher, she’s really helping. Even being a young team we have good people.”

Junior Amanda Anderson, a returning starter, is in center field.

Doherty also is in the outfield mix, along with juniors Catherine Krolak and Janelle Flint. Another

junior, Molly Johnson, plays first, and sophomore Lyndsey Brockhoff should see playing time at catcher.

“They’re very energetic,” Zapinski said of her team.

“They’ve very good at picking each other up and being positive.

There’s a number of girls that have a lot of softball knowledge and they’re willing in a very nice way to share it with others and help each other out.”

To Sleep, Perchance To Dream?

We spend a third of our life sleeping but how much do we really know about it? You know if you slept well or slept poorly.You may recall your dreams. However, you can relate very little of a night’s sleep. You can vividly tell your doctor about specific pains, concerns, maladies, and troubles that inhabit your wake time hours but the best you can relate about sleep is the indirect effects it has on wakefulness. If you wake up feeling tired and your energy level is low, or if you have frequent daytime drowsiness you can presume that you have a sleep problem. Unfortunately you probably have no insight into the problem or its causes. Your family and intimates are much more likely to know of your problem than you are. In fact, they are often aware of an obvious problem to which you are clueless at best, and deny at worst. Do you snore?

Does your spouse or partner tell you that you snore?

Sleep Medicine as a medical

discipline was established in the late 1970’s. It has b e c o m e increasingly important in routine medical care over the past twenty years.

Over several occasional articles I will discuss some of the current sleep issues.Of these issues,sleep apnea is probably the best known.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) has two major types. The first type is caused by abnormalities in the brain stem that control sleep and breathing. The second type is caused by factors in the nose and throat that cut off the air supply while sleeping. The second type is more common and is usually referred to as OSA. Twenty six percent of the adult population is thought to be at high risk for OSA. It increases in frequency through your 20’s to

your 50’s and then tends to level off after age 65. There is a racial preference for African-Americans over Whites and Asians whose risks are similar. OSA is twice as common in males than in females. Two other common risk factors are obesity and airway anatomy. Tobacco use increases your risk three-fold.

Sleep apnea occurs when breathing in while sleeping causes negative pressures in the upper airway. The negative pressure results in a collapse of the surrounding soft tissues.The airway closes and air can’t get in. If the collapse is incomplete, some air gets by. The tissues vibrate and snoring occurs.

Snoring is the best-known symptom of OSA but it is not the only one. If no air gets by, you stop breathing and apnea occurs. Particularly severe apnea episodes will cause a person to awaken abruptly with a sense of choking, gasping for air, or a sense of asphyxiation.

This is because the person is actually choking. This always and obviously results in disturbed sleep. Most of the other symptoms of OSA relate to poor sleep: fatigue, daytime drowsiness, poor concentration etc.

The diagnosis of OSA can be made by a sleep study.While you are sleeping, a small monitor on the finger or earlobe measures continuous oxygen levels. Other monitors check for air movement and obstruction. A diagnosis of, as well as the specific type of OSA can usually be made by this technique. However, it can only be done while you are sleeping. The test is usually done in a sleep lab but simpler home monitoring kits have also been developed. The usual treatment for OSA is some form of positive pressure being administered to the upper airway to hold it open. A facial mask with flowing oxygen is the typical mechanism.

Newer apparatus are much less

obtrusive and can occasionally be limited to the nose instead of the nose and mouth.

Doctor’s Rx: If your spouse or partner has moved to another bedroom because of snoring, or if you awaken with a sensation of choking or similar symptoms, please be professionally evaluated. At the minimum, stop smoking and lose excess weight.

Not only will you feel better, be more alert, and have more energy, you will greatly decrease your risk of death. Sleep apnea increases your all-cause risk of mortality by three to six-fold and should be taken very seriously.

Teen acne, like the Maintaining your pet’s dental health is important worst thing ever QUESTION:

D e n t a l disease is a topic that veterinarians diagnose and treat on a daily basis.

Pe r i o d o n t a l disease is the most common disease that afflicts pets and it is quite possibly the most under-treated disease as well. Studies have shown that over 80% of dogs at age four have significant calculus build-up and gingivitis.

Periodontitis is defined as inflammation of the gum tissues around the tooth. This is mostly secondary to a buildup of plaque and then calculus (also known as tartar). As the tissues around the tooth (especially the gingiva and the periodontal ligament) become infected and inflamed the tooth may loosen and eventually fall out. While this process is progressing, the tooth may be very painful for the animal.

Herein lies the problem: Dogs are very good at appearing normal even with significant disease or pain in their body.

Although your dog is behaving normally the dental disease and related discomfort may be causing problems at the microscopic level within his mouth. Recent studies have shown that dogs with periodontal disease may have increased levels of inflammatory proteins in the body that could be causing serious health issues in other organs such as the heart, liver or kidneys.

Veterinarians recommend that a dog’s teeth be cleaned and examined annually. The process begins with the veterinarian administering anesthesia so he can thoroughly examine the dog’s mouth.Taking radiographs with a machine similar to what a human dentist uses is very effective in diagnosing what may be occurring under the gumline. I would not want to practice animal dentistry without the information that

is obtained from the intraoral radiographs. It’s like trying to diagnose liver disease without using blood tests. After the radiographs are completed the calculus is removed with a highspeed scaler. Most importantly, the calculus is removed from under the gumline during this procedure. Removing the visible calculus from the tooth is important but it’s the subgingival calculus that is actually causing the problem.

Finally, the surface of the tooth is polished to smooth the surface which helps retard the reformation of calculus.

After the procedure is completed the teeth are perfectly clean and pet owners assume they will stay that way for at least the next year.

Unfortunately that is not true.

The plaque begins to attach to the tooth within a few hours and the whole process begins again. So, the best way to slow the process down is to See HOWES, page 17

Hey Sondra, my 14-year-old daughter is having a problem with acne.The more products we try, her acne seems to get worse.

She seems to be getting very withdrawn because of it. Do you have any suggestions on helping get her acne under control?

ANSWER: Unfortunately, most of us have gone through those dreadful teenage years where a bad breakout of pimples would create a negative self-image. You must remind your daughter this is only temporary, and with the right skin care regimen, her acne should be manageable. Luckily, today there is more of an understanding of what causes acne, and techniques to fight acne, through prevention and good skin care.

The first line of defense in fighting acne is to understand exactly how pimples are formed.

Deep inside your skin are hair follicles. Inside each follicle is an oil gland, which produces sebum.

Should this follicle become clogged a pimple is formed. Stress is the number one cause of acne, followed by hormones, improper diet and drying out your skin from dehydration and the use of harsh products on the face. These causes don’t actually cause the pimple, but facilitate the oil gland to create more sebum. Creating a better chance for the follicle to become clogged thus creating a pimple.

A good skin care regimen is a must in getting rid of acne.A gentle acne-formulated soap should be used to wash the face both morning and night, followed by a light acne-formulated moisturizer.

Make sure to use lukewarm water, and gently pat the skin dry. Every morning after the moisturizer is applied, make sure to apply an SPF of 15 or higher.

See ACNE, page 17

Health & Fitness HOWES Continued from page 16 start brushing your dog’s teeth.

Sound familiar? It’s the same for humans.

Brushing your dog’s teeth is one of the most important health maintenance efforts a pet owner can do. However, it can be a real challenge. The secret is to slowly acclimate your dog to the process of you working within his mouth in a non-threatening manner and then gradually stepping up the process to the point where you can brush his teeth on a daily basis. There are special dog toothbrushes that fit over your finger. Dogs need special toothpaste that contains enzymes to break down the plaque. Most of the plaque accumulates on the outer surface of the upper teeth so you can even do an effective job brushing if your dog is keeping his mouth closed. There are also foods that are formulated to help slow the accumulation of plaque on the teeth. Some treats are helpful too.

Dental disease is serious and

may be contributing negatively to the overall health of your beloved pet. Even though he is acting normally there may be existing dental disease that is causing him pain. A thorough examination by a veterinarian combined with radiographs and daily dental maintenance are necessary steps to keeping your pet happy and healthy for

a long time.

ACNE Continued from page 16 It’s important to exfoliate the face at least twice a week after cleansing. This is important to all skin types. What exfoliating does is to slough off dead skin cells, preventing the follicles from becoming clogged. An inexpensive and effective way to do this is by using a baking soda exfoliate. Simply mix baking soda and water into a paste, gentle massage the mixture in a circular motion on the face. Rinse thoroughly.

Follow by a skin-calming mask.

There are two masks great for acne prone skin. The first, being whipped egg whites, with a dash of lemon juice. Do not use if you’re allergic to eggs. Simply apply to face with a cotton ball, leave on for 10 minutes, rinse and pat dry, and proceed with moisturizer. If you’re allergic to eggs, or simply find it to messy, a store bought clay mask can be used.

A healthy diet has a lot to do with keeping the skin in good shape. Vitamins C, E and omega 3’s are important to skin health. Eating plenty of

17

fresh fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts will naturally supply the skin with these nutrients.

Adding a daily supplement of Cod Liver oil has been known to get rid of acne. Drinking lots of water will prevent the skin from becoming dehydrated.

Avoid foods containing sugar and white flour, fried foods and carbonated drinks.

Here are some other important tips in preventing acne. Don’t touch your face; fingertips have a lot of bacteria on them, which can cause a follicle to become clogged. Wipe cell phones off with antibacterial cloths. Use water base or mineral powder cosmetics.Always use disposable cosmetic applicators. When showering always shampoo and condition hair first, the coating formulated to condition hair will leave a film on skin.

Should you see that your daughter’s acne is not getting better, or seems to be getting worse make sure to take her to see a Dermatologist.

Business & Real Estate

Is there a fast track to success?

Q. I’ve been working in my field for about 10 years and am frustrated at my slow progress.

I keep reading in books and magazines about clever people who leaped over obstacles on a fast track to success. Is there a secret to getting to the top quickly?

A. No, the business myth that a journey of a thousand steps starts with one grand, brilliant leap forward is just not true. The truth is that overnight success take years of time and patience.

Of course, the promise of overnight success sells countless books and makes certain speakers very popular on the business lecture circuit. Anyone who wants to appear magical, superhuman and limitless can skip over the “hard work, time consuming” part of their success

and brag they zoomed to the top.

The trouble isn’t that people will lie about the reality of how they arrived at their achievement.

The trouble is other people want to believe the lie so badly that they accept these fairy tales about success.

What I see in my executive coaching practice is that new clients have often been profoundly demoralized by hearing these false tales of accomplishment. My clients compare themselves with these tall tales and just give up.

So let me say this once and very clearly: Success takes hard

work, tough tradeoffs and a long time to achieve. If you really want to achieve a goal at work, you must know what you want (specifically), you must know the price to obtain it, and you must be willing to pay the price.

There is no magical shortcut to success, no matter how many false stories you might hear.

Once you accept that even talented, smart and inspired human beings have to put their pants on one leg at a time, you can put a realistic map together for your dream. Start out by using what I call the “mosquito strategy” for success. Consider the smallest step you can take and be willing to start there.

If you want to write the great American novel, take a writing class or write for your neighborhood newsletter. If you

want to be a CEO, volunteer to lead a community group with a cause you support. If you want to start your own business, pay the people who are most respected in your field an hourly fee to give you advice.

None of these “mosquito” steps will bring you overnight achievement, but they all will lay the ground work for you to plan an effective campaign to get from where you are to where you want to be.

The ironic secret about success is that people who get realistic, are willing to do the hard work, and think smaller (not grander) are more likely achieve some version of their dreams. There is a personal tragedy for people who stall out in the workplace just because they believed some blowhard who wanted to look

Move closer to avoid two-hour drive Dear Dave, My husband works two hours away from home. He gets up at 3 a.m. and doesn’t get home until 7 p.m. We have a fully funded emergency fund, and he makes $95,000 a year. My parents’ place is an hour from his job, and they’ve offered to let us live with them. What do you think of this idea?

Jessica Dear Jessica, Why don’t you just sell the

house and move closer to where he works? If he makes that kind of money and you’ve got your emergency fund in place, you should be able to handle moving costs. I’ve got to be honest, I’d do the two hours to work and two hours home

drive maybe once before I’d begin seriously looking for a place much closer.

Right now, you guys don’t have a life. And moving in with your parents wouldn’t be much better. That poor guy practically lives on the road, and I’m sure you both want more quality time together. He sounds like a great guy, though, to be willing to go through all that. He’s busting his tail and doing what it takes to provide for his family, but there’s just

no reason for either of you to go through this kind of pain and inconvenience.

Get your house on the market, and find a little rental near his job for now. You can rebuild part of your emergency fund if necessary, but if I’m in your shoes, I’m going to fix this logistical nightmare as fast as humanly possible!

impressive at the expense of the truth.

The last word(s) Q. Is there one top tip you teach your clients to make them successful at work?

A. Yes, learn to behave well when you feel badly.

West Hills Egg Hunt a success Not only was the day perfect for an Easter egg hunt, the event was too. Families from all over the community attended the West Hills Church 5th Annual Easter Egg Hunt.

Children were greeted with all sorts of activities including chalk art, a Moon Jump, a coloring contest, popcorn, and most importantly, a visit from the Easter Bunny.

Over 3,000 eggs were sprinkled throughout the acreage for children to hunt for and find. There were all kinds of creative loot-holders including: Easter baskets, grocery bags, gift bags, pockets and the occasional hands of parents cupping each special egg. All found eggs but some more than others.

“One of the special things we did at our hunt,” explained Cindy LaBorn, Event Coordinator and Children’s Ministry Director, “is gather

the children together, after all of the eggs are found, and share the importance of Easter. We explain how Easter a time for selfless love just as God loved us by sacrificing his Son Jesus to die on the cross as an act of Mercy and was resurrected on the third day as a gift of grace. Then, we asked the children who didn’t have much success in finding eggs, to step up and asked those that had an abundance to consider sharing with those that didn’t.

It’s an amazing thing to watch when one minute a child is proud of their find and next they are giving it away to one in need.

A true testament of what Easter is truly all about.”

Each year, the West Hills Easter Egg hunt continues to grow.

Next year, the committee of six is confident to increase the number of eggs to 4,000.
